The immortal saying in the book: "That is "the state is born from the heart." When reaching this state, a person's calming skills are greater than the interference of the environment, and he can make the decision himself."
"For example, on continuous rainy days, most people feel depressed. Some people are not affected by the environment, let nature take its course, and be content with the present. On rainy days, they listen to the rain and create an artistic conception of rain hitting the banana trees."
"Quietly enjoy the beautiful and lively world of raindrops hitting the banana leaves..."
Pang Qingyang recited: "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. I say that autumn is better than spring. A crane lining the clouds in the clear sky brings poetry to the blue night."
The book fairy smiled and touched his palms, patting his thigh.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Situation comes from the heart. Create a wonderful artistic conception by yourself. Even if the environment you are in is not good, it will not be affected."
"As the saying goes, always be quiet, which means that the meaning is profound and the response is powerful."
"Tranquility is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. At the beginning, the mind slowly calms down, just like a bowl of shaking water, slowly settling, the clear air rises, and the dirty air sinks."
This is the principle of "water" and also the principle of "heart".
Hong Kang said at this time: "Shu Gong's words remind me of a sentence in the Taoist Scriptures."
"If the water is constantly turbulent, it will be unclear, and if the mind is constantly vacillating, it will be unclear. Therefore, it is okay to calm down and calm your mind at that time, and not be confused by the turbulence."
It means that if the water is constantly turbulent, it will not be clear, and if the inner turmoil is constantly turbulent, it will not be bright. Therefore, one should always make the heart calm and not be confused by the turbulence.
It is similar to what the immortal in the book just said.
"So, many people fail not because of lack of ability, but because of too many temptations and their inability to persevere."
The fairy in the book went on to tell his theory.
"This is especially true for reading!~"
"Studying requires quietness. Only by being quiet can you concentrate and think. If you are not quiet, you will be distracted from studying and you will not be able to concentrate on studying."
"When you practice "samadhi and tranquility" to the extreme, wisdom will naturally come from it."
"Some things that I usually couldn't understand were suddenly understood; some things that I couldn't look away from were suddenly let go... This is the wisdom that comes from tranquility."
"After gaining wisdom, over time and accumulating it, a person's temperament will be as stable as a mountain and as powerful as a mountain. That is "peace"."
"When you reach this state, you will begin to cultivate your Qi, be mentally energetic, have a stable life and career, have a stable inner mood, have clear thoughts, gather the spiritual pillars in your heart, improve your psychological quality, and you will be fearless..."
"For example: the dagger pierces the eyes but the face does not change, the heart is stable; when walking on the edge of a cliff, it is like walking on flat ground, and on flat ground, it is like walking on a cliff..."
After listening to Shuxian's explanation, Hong Kang and Pang Qingyang each expressed their opinions.
Pang Qingyang said in a clear voice: "The so-called Taishan Beidou, eight winds cannot move."
Hong Kanglang chanted: "Mountain Tai collapses in front but does not change its color; the elk walks to the left but does not blink!"
The fairy caressing the palms in the book happily: "That's right! That's right!~~"
Hong Kang asked: "Shu Gong, what's next?"
The fairy said in the book: "Currently, Zhuge and I have deduced the three stages of "sedation, tranquility, and tranquility"."
Pang Qingyang asked: "After you are safe, you can think about it, and after thinking about it, you can get it. Can't the next stage be "concern"?"
The immortal in the book shook his head and said: "Those who consider things are those who deal with things in detail, considerately, get rid of prejudices, and think carefully."
"This is the process of studying, but it is not the state of cultivating the mind."
"According to my idea, the next step should be "empty". Entering the world is empty, and emerging from the world is also empty."
"But Zhuge disagrees. He believes that it should be "enlightenment", knowing one's mind and one's nature. With a pure heart, you can see your true self, and you will have great joy, peace and freedom in your heart."
"But actually, we vaguely feel that there should be several transitional stages before, but we can't agree on a unified view for a while..."
Hong Kang murmured: "Kong? Wukong? Wukong?"
The image of a monkey flashed instinctively in his mind, and then his thoughts diverged. The stone monkey with spiritual intelligence... Lingming, the spiritual intelligence of the body, the master of the heart... Mingwu? Wukong? Understand changes, know the weather, know the location...
Hong Kang is now in a profound realm. Although he did not start by practicing "mind power", he has no shortcomings at this point in his practice. What's more, the martial arts he practiced in his early years was roughly divided into "mind, body, energy, technique, The five major limits of "potential", from a high position, can also sense some of the way forward for this Confucian and Taoist system.
If you want to be "enlightened" and "empty", you must let your mind be at its clearest.
When do people feel clearest?
That is of course the moment of death!
Just like the second before death, a person suddenly recalls the things he has experienced in his life. All the past events are all vividly in his mind, like the shadow of a dream. The forgotten experiences of infancy are also activated from deep in the cerebral cortex.
One moment, one thought, is a lifetime.
When Hong Kang expressed this idea, Shuxian was startled at first, then happy, and then he lowered his head to think about it.
"The situation you are talking about is a very common phenomenon in daily life. The so-called "return of light" is... but after ordinary people experience this wonderful realm, what greets them is death."
The fairy in the book has been around for many years and has seen many deaths.
I had not thought in this direction before, but now that I was reminded of it, I immediately recalled the cases I had seen in the past.
"But this state of supreme clarity and insight into everything is undoubtedly enviable. If it could be maintained all the time, how powerful would it be?!"
"This state of being seemingly dead but not dead can be called the "living dead", or "brightness". Ordinary people in this state are dead, but the "living dead" are still alive..."
"Ordinary people only have that moment of "reflection" when they are about to die, but the strong ones in the "living dead" realm do this every moment."
Life and death, the power of the mind, are so wonderful.
There is a sense in the book that once you step into this realm, you will bid farewell to the world and never be a mortal again.
But the book fairy immediately sighed.
He felt that if he wanted to understand this realm clearly, he would have to experience a near-death experience, but this would not be very friendly to him. Because of his special nature of life, as long as there were words nearby, no one could catch him, even if It's formations, barriers, sealing techniques...etc., all of them are useless.
Therefore, since its birth, Shuxian has never encountered a life or death crisis...
Relatively speaking, those ordinary people often encountered life-threatening things because of their weakness. The book fairy couldn't help but feel a hint of envy.
It was as if he had found the door now, only to find that he didn't have the key.
Am I going to try to commit suicide? ?
